Old Fashioned Pot Roast - beef roast

Method

• *** sprinkle roast liberally with pepper, and garlic powder.
• and lightly with season salt.
• I rub the seasoning into the meat by hand... the brown gravy and onion soup mix are high in sodium.
• dredge roast through flour.
• fry in oil until both sides are brown.
• doesn't have to cook just brown.
• this step is important to help to form gravy or thick juice.
• coursely cut up potatoes.
• cut celery into 2" pieces.
• put all the veggies in a bowl with 1/2 the onion.
• lightly salt add pepper.
• hand mix.
• put a slow cooker liner in your crockpot.
• ROAST CAN BE PUT IN A BAKING BAG OR THE PRESSURE COOKER.
• If pressure cooker is used.
• cook on Med for 45 Minutes.
• if you use a baking bag cook for about 1 1/2 hrs at 350. if you use a crockpot cook 8-10 hrs on low or 6 hrs on high.
• the instructions are given for a crockpot.
• put veggies in the crockpot and put roast on top.. it will keep veggies moist.
• put celery and onions on top of roast.
• put onion mix and gravy mix in bowl with water or broth...mix well until dissolved pour over roast and cook for designated time as posted in #6...
• **** after roast is eaten I save the leftovers juice to boil egg noodles in.
• the broth can be strained and frozen for future use.
• I'll put that recipe on my profile.
• SOMEONE ADDED IN THE REVIEW IT TAKES 8 HRS TO BAKE... EVIDENTLY THIS PERSON HAS NOT COOKED THIS.
• ... this roast can be cooked in a roaster that has a lid ... or in an aluminum roaster covered tightly with aluminium foil... for 1 1/2 - 2 hrs....
• **** several people mentioned the gravy was thinner than they like.... when u get ready to cook the roast add 3 Tbsp of flour to a 1/2 coffee cup full of COLD water ... put this in the bottom... the oils and broth from the meat will season this... in mine I mix the onion soup mix... gravy mix... and flour from frying the roast.....
